Fly Swatter Painting

{For your convenience, this post may contain affiliate links}

Flies are a terrible nuisance, but I’m not a big fan of using fly swatters either (I can’t stand the thought of actually killing the pests myself. Hubby is more than welcome to do that job for me!) When I try getting rid of flies, I sing to them- “Shoo fly, don’t bother me!” As I try to usher them outside 😉 As part of a preschool play date we did around the book There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, our kids actually had the opportunity to use fly swatters for painting! It was such a fun way to paint that we’ve done it more than once already!

Here’s another one to try with the kids; wrap a rubber band around a stalk of celery and slice with a knife leaving two Bunches of celery. It looks like a rose after you paint the ends and stamp it on a shirt or paper.
